So it\u2019s something I\u2019m learning from whatever that is going on here that I need to be humble,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>KABA until his sudden death on Saturday November 18, 2017 was the host of Asempa FM\u2019s afternoon political show, \u2018Ekosii Sen\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>One week after his death a ceremony was held in remembrance of him at the forecourt of The Multimedia Group at Kokomlemle which saw hundreds of sympathisers flocking the premises to commiserate with the family and colleges.<\/p>\n<p>His funeral has been scheduled for December 15-17, 2017 in Accra, the family head, Elder George Nyarko, disclosed Saturday, at the one-week celebration of the late presenter\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n<p>KABA as he was affectionately called was survived by a wife, Valentina Ofori Afriyie and a seven-month-old baby girl.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KkfNXaTaYNs\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 48 updated by: 48 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Sunday, 26 November 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-11-26 play videoKumawood actor, Bill Asamoah was at the one-week celebration of KABA Kumawood actor, Bill Asamoah has charged public personalities to mirror the free spirit and open-mindedness of the late ace broadcast journalist, Kwadwo Asare Baffour Acheampong (KABA).
